Entertainment in Dubrovnik

  1. A

    Sloboda Cinema

    This is the most centrally located cinema. Posters outside advertise the nightly showings.

  2. Buža

    Finding this isolated bar-on-a-cliff feels like a real discovery as you duck and dive around the city walls and finally see the entrance tunnel. Emerging by the sea it’s quite a scene with tasteful music (soul, funk) and a mellow crowd soaking up the vibes, views (and sunshine). That’s about it. Grab a cool drink, perch on a concrete platform and enjoy.

    Cafe Buža

    This ineffably romantic spot on the rocks outside the south walls offers nothing but drinks served on outdoor tables overlooking the sea. It's just outside the city walls and you can find it by looking for the 'Cold Drinks' sign and going through a hole in the walls. Get there for the sunset.

    Café Festival

    Placa is one of the world's most beautiful streets and this cafe is the best place to kick back and enjoy the view. The interior is also inviting and if your day of sightseeing has been interrupted by bad weather then this is the perfect place to slink into and sink a few.

    EastWest Club

    By day this upmarket outfit on Banje Beach rents out sun loungers and umbrellas and serves drinks to the bathers who come here to relax and rehydrate. Later on, the cocktail bar and restaurant come into their own and the in-crowd descends en masse.

  6. Buža II

    Just a notch more upmarket than the original, this one is lower on the rocks and has a shaded terrace where you can snack on crisps, peanuts or a sandwich and lose a day quite happily, mesmerised by the Adriatic vistas.

    Troubadur

    This corner bar looks pretty nondescript in the day, but on summer nights things get far more lively when there are live jazz concerts – often (though not always) featuring Marko, the owner, and his band.

    Labirint

    This is a vast restaurant, nightclub, disco and cabaret complex that caters to high rollers. It can chew through your wallet pretty quickly unless you just come for a romantic cocktail on the roof terrace.

    Pub Karaka

    The Emerald Isle is well-represented here with Irish draught beer on tap, Irish music in the evenings and a Happy Hour from 15:00 to 19:00. You can even watch UK sporting events beamed in by satellite.

  10. Gaffe

    The busiest place in town (especially when there’s football on), this huge pub has a homely interior and a long, covered side terrace. Staff are friendly and the food is filling, though a tad pricey.

    Eastwest Beach Club

    By day this outfit on Banje Beach rents out beach chairs and umbrellas. When the rays lengthen, the cocktail bar opens and a smart-casual set admires the sunset over a long, cool drink.

    Hemingway Cocktail Bar

    Locals find it a bit expensive, but the 30-page cocktail menu and comfy outdoor seating packs in visitors. This is a see-and-be-seen scene.

    Latino Club Fuego

    Latino Club Fuego Despite the name, you'll find a gamut of dance music that includes techno and pop at this disco. The atmosphere is relaxed with no glowering bouncer and no rigid dress code.
